Pakistan off-spinner Sajid Khan made history in the second Test against England at the Multan Cricket Stadium, breaking a 24-year-old record previously held by legendary spinner Saqlain Mushtaq. Sajid took an impressive seven wickets, leading Pakistan to dismiss England for 291 on day three of the match.
The 31-year-old spinner achieved figures of 7-111 in 26.2 overs, marking his second five-wicket haul. This performance made him the first Pakistani off-spinner to take five or more wickets in a home Test match since Saqlain Mushtaq’s feat in 2000.
England resumed their innings at 239-6 but could only add nine runs before Sajid dismissed Brydon Carse. Sajid continued his dominant spell, removing Matthew Potts and wrapping up the innings with the dismissal of Shoaib Bashir.
